Nano Atomic Clock

Vectron announces the releases of the Nano Atomic Clock (NAC1) by its partner AccuBeat. The NAC1 utilizes the quantum physics principal of coherent population trapping (CPT) in a low power, small form factor,  rubidium vapor cell to deliver aging rates of 1 ppb/year in a package that is one tenth  the size of traditional rubidium, with an order of magnitude reduction in power consumption.  Traditional rubidium vapor cell manufacturing techniques used in the production of the physics package ensure much longer term reliability of the product when compared to competitive products currently on the market.

 

Features

• Aging: <3E-10/month, 1E-9 per year

• RS232 interface for monitoring and control

 

Applications

• ManPack Radio
• SATCOM
• Avionics
